First week of the patch. The mounts are still going to be available a year from now. Y’all can settle down.
You don’t even understand what we’re talking about. Move along.
or 2 raids groups, iv seen 2 even 3 40 man groups but normally ya its just 1 40 man group farming

Yeah they need to make the scrap piles no toy/no portal/no mount zones.
The green trash bags could use a visual tune-up to make them more visible when a lot of people are around.
The fire patches need something to make it obvious they aren’t just ambient fire. Also to make them stand out from certain player abilities (fire mage flame patches).
The scrap piles need to be more responsive to clicks.

wow, I’ve been ignoring mounts, since the love rocket grind that left me in a bad mood…I’m starting the patch almost 1 week late.
So, Blizzard keeps doing a bad combination of Ratio of attempt, drop %.
Reward Devs in this game never change, they should prioritize fun as the main aspect of the game, at the end its a game, but people want to collect things.
leaving a character AFK for hours in a spawn point or doing this kind of grinds isn’t good gameplay. Why can’t they do something like the Fel Cycle mount?? Or Do less mounts if they don’t have time to allocate into good gameplay for the rewards…
The OP was complaining about a 1% drop rate of a mount. It seems like I do know what I am talking about. You can move along.
not making fun of you at all but i read this as the guys voice from South park during the black friday episode. HEY! what you think your doing? a shopping?..move along sir
Hi, OP here. You do not know what you’re talking about.
I was saying that the experience of taking hours for the chance to spawn a rare that has a 1% reward of dropping different rewards is not a fun one.
I don’t give a crap if the drop rate is 1%, as long as I can reliably spawn the rare. The frustration comes from how hard it is to spawn the rare. In the past, rares with weird spawn conditions (good examples of this: Grey Riding Camel, Voidtalon) or extremely long spawn times had guaranteed mount drops.
As far as everyone else goes, thanks for keeping this bumped, yes even the trolls.
Apparently it also drops a pet, called “Gleam”. I don’t care about mounts, but I do collect pets. Oof
I’m speaking of the thinly veiled allegory. The game has devolved so much that Blizzard created a patch that is literally shoveling garbage. It is a testament to how players will buy anything, even garbage.
iv yet to see ANYONE get the pet mount iv seen but no pet
That’s all personal opinion, I think it’s just immersive and lore accurate to the goblin themes portrayed in Undermine.
I don’t think Blizzard is being subliminal or cryptic about the content they’ve created for players in Undermine. In a sense where it’s them mocking us with “insulating content” that reflects us being mindless consumers.
Been doing scrap for 2 hours, still no rare spawn.
At this point I just don’t actively dig, I get myself phased to a realm that has a group doing scrap farming and afk and wait for Silverdragon to go off while I work…
5 hours since reset of doing that and I got 1 spawn total for today 
incredible experience if you ask me.
I’m starting to do the same myself, and eventually so many people are gonna be doing that the bar will stop hitting 500. Woo.
this has to be the worst thing wow has implemented? im pulling all my hair off
It’s close to it, from a rewards standpoint. The other contenders are probably as bad but in different ways.
Adding my voice to this. I get that it’s only week 1 and that this will be around a while, and we’ll have more chances… but this is brutal.
On average, when I join an LFG group to farm scrap, it seems to take ~90 minutes of attempts to spawn it. The longest I’ve seen so far is 3.5 hours (and counting; I’ve been typing this up between scrap heaps). Then, just based on what I’ve seen from people looting in my group, it’s about a 1% drop rate.
Median acquisition time on this is going to be extremelely high and I don’t think this is the content you want people doing for such a long time.
Edit: it’s buffed!

This would be fine and I don’t know why they didn’t do this. Just make it so that the rare is guaranteed to spawn within 10 trash piles (this is still 30 minutes of farming). Instead they changed a 100% spawn chance on the PTR to a 1-2% chance to spawn the rare.
Are you sure about the buff? Blizz hasn’t said anything I can find
